Portsmouth is an island city. Portsea Island's extreme density means development goes vertical rather than outward, driving loft conversions and basement excavations in Southsea and Fratton. Naval heritage buildings require specialist remediation, while the eastern side's high water table makes basement work a pumping challenge. Southsea seafront erosion keeps flood defence contractors busy.
Loft conversions and dormer extensions in dense Victorian terraces across Southsea. Basement excavations with permanent pumping on the eastern high water table. Naval building asbestos remediation and conversion in the Historic Dockyard area. Seafront erosion defence and retaining wall work along South Parade.
